Bao Liang's attitude was very humble, and his words were also very pitiful. However, it was very obvious that he had no intention of voluntarily confessing.
"Oh, you still have a reputation?" Gao Sheng laughed and looked at him. "What, you're not afraid of going to jail in order to protect your client's secrets?"
After all, Bao Liang graduated from the police academy and was very familiar with the relevant laws. Although his attitude was very good, he had no intention of relenting. "Brother Gao, to be honest, sometimes I have no choice but to step on the line for this business. However, I know what I'm doing. Detention and fines are the most I can get. "
"Not reporting what you know, trespassing into private property, and installing surveillance equipment to destroy other people's privacy. Is this what you mean by stepping on the line? "Gao Sheng reminded him as he flipped through the information compiled by the investigation team.
After searching Bao Liang's residence and office, the task force found out that this kid had installed invisible surveillance equipment in the living room and bedroom of Wu Entai's rented residence before the police found it.
The two pieces of equipment were very well-made. Not only were their performance parameters comparable to the "little things" made by the investigation technology innovation team, but they were also very hidden. When the task force's technicians installed the surveillance equipment, they did not discover it at all.
In other words, not only did this kid Bao Liang keep an eye on Wu Entai longer than the police, but he also knew very well that the police were also monitoring Wu Entai.
Under these circumstances, he still contacted Lin Haizhen and provided information. Even Gao Sheng had to admit that this kid was willing to risk his life for money.
"Brother Gao, not reporting what you know isn't a crime, right?" Bao Liang asked tentatively, still maintaining a humble attitude as he said, "Trespassing into private property and installing surveillance equipment is indeed stepping on the line, but … it's just detention, right?"
Gao Sheng was so angry that he almost choked. He held his breath in his chest, and his face became gloomy.
From a legal perspective, as long as one did not participate in the crime or help the criminal cover up the crime, not reporting what you know was not a crime. Trespassing into private property without stealing or destroying things would normally only result in a detention of up to fifteen days and a fine.
In addition, the crime of installing surveillance cameras in other people's residences without permission was still unknown. There was no standard punishment or relevant legal basis for the time being.
Because of this understanding, Bao Liang still did what he was supposed to do even though he knew that Wu Entai was under the surveillance of the police.
Gao Sheng's face was ashen as he coldly said: "Bao Liang, don't try to show off your little bit of legal knowledge to me. I can tell you that based on the evidence we have now, you are guilty of trespassing.
Go and check the second paragraph of Article 245 of the Criminal Law. You won't be wronged at all if you're sentenced to three years of imprisonment or criminal detention! "
"Don't, Brother Gao. I'm just trying to make a living. You don't have to kill me, right? I … "Bao Liang's expression changed. Breaking the law and violating the law were two completely different concepts.
"Stop pretending." Gao Sheng angrily cut off Bao Liang's words and said disdainfully: "What do you mean 'just criminal detention'? Did you spend your three years in the police academy in a dog's stomach?"
"Brother Gao, I was wrong. If there's anything you need me to cooperate with, just tell me. I won't hesitate." Bao Liang was really scared. He knew that if he didn't give the police some "sweetness", they might actually sue him.
"We don't need you to cooperate with us. Don't you know what you're capable of?" Gao Sheng knew that Bao Liang was basically a pain in the ass. If he didn't completely scare him, then he couldn't expect him to cooperate.
"Yes, yes! I'm on my own. How can I compare to you guys? "Bao Liang quickly nodded in agreement.
"Don't waste my time. Sit here and think it through first. If you dare to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial, you should consider the consequences yourself. "After Gao Sheng finished speaking, he picked up the folder on the table and walked out of the interrogation room.
Bao Liang was left alone in the interrogation room for more than two hours. In the beginning, he was still looking around sneakily. Later, he sat there without saying a word. It seemed that he was quite worried.
When it was close to one in the morning, Gao Sheng felt that the fire was about ready. Only then did he arrange for the two young subordinates to enter the interrogation room.
After the two young men entered the room and sat down, they didn't rush them. They looked like they were waiting for Bao Liang to take the initiative to speak.
Gao Sheng's misdirection was successful.
Bao Liang made a judgment in his heart from the police's attitude towards him. He thought that the police weren't in a hurry to know what he knew. This meant that the police also knew what he knew.
Today, they suddenly brought him out most likely just to confirm some details about the timeline and characters. They wanted to form a complete timeline and prepare for future litigation.
After some analysis, Bao Liang believed that the information he knew wasn't very important to the police. Therefore, he didn't have much bargaining power. If he didn't tell them the truth seriously, he would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.
With this awareness, Bao Liang was very serious when he told them the truth. He acted like a good citizen who cooperated with the police.
According to his description, he received a commission from Lin Haizhen in mid-October. She asked him to monitor Wu Entai's whereabouts.
At first, Bao Liang didn't know who Wu Entai was and treated it as a very normal case. In order to get more labor fees from Lin Haizhen, he even bought two very expensive surveillance devices online.
After asking the online store to give him a fake receipt, he took the receipt and asked Lin for reimbursement.
Unexpectedly, after Lin Haizhen saw the receipt, she thought that Bao Liang valued his commission. Not only did she give him the money without hesitation, but she also promised that as long as Bao Liang could dig out useful information from the target, she would give him an extra red packet in addition to the agreed upon commission.
After Bao Liang realized that this was a profitable business, he finally put most of his energy into monitoring Wu Entai. He found a moment when Wu Entai went out, snuck into his rented place, and installed the two surveillance devices he bought online.
Then, he spent money to rent a single apartment in a high-rise building in the neighborhood, not far from Wu Entai's rented place. After he set up the receiver in the apartment, he used broadband to transmit the captured video and audio to his office.
After a period of monitoring, Wu Entai's leisurely lifestyle caused a lot of trouble for Bao Liang. The reason was that the target he was monitoring was very normal. He couldn't get any "useful information" and couldn't report it to his client.
If there was nothing to report, how could he make money?
Just as Bao Liang's enthusiasm for Wu Entai started to fade, he suddenly realized that there was a group of people who had installed surveillance devices in the house when Wu Entai was out.
With Bao Liang's eyesight, it was easy for him to tell that this group of people was definitely the police!
After he realized that the police had also noticed Bao Liang, he wasn't scared at all. Instead, he was very excited. He thought that since the police had the same goal as him, it meant that there was a big problem with the person he was monitoring.
If he could discover this problem, then he would definitely have a lot of "money" in his future.
After Bao Liang reignited his enthusiasm for "work" and confirmed Wu Entai's value, he did the same thing as the police. He categorized all of Wu Entai's daily behaviors, then eliminated them one by one. He tried to use this method to find Wu Entai's flaws.
After some analysis, Bao Liang first eliminated the teahouse and sightseeing. As for Wu Entai's daily activities, the only thing worth paying attention to was watching TV shows online.
He sat in the house and watched "Wind and Cloud" over and over again. He even argued with people on BBS over the plot and characters. This kind of behavior was really quite incomprehensible.
Bao Liang looked at the surveillance videos and searched the forum for Wu Entai's posts and various replies. He studied until his hair fell out, but he didn't find any problems.
However, this little guy was a loyal reader of Conan Doyle. When he was in police school, he firmly believed in the famous line of Sherlock Holmes in the book.
"Eliminate all the impossible factors, and the remaining answer, no matter how incredible, is the real answer."
With this kind of stubborn thinking, Bao Liang put all his energy into Wu Entai's obsession with "Wind and Cloud" and his argument with people on the forum. He was so wrapped up in it that he almost forgot to eat and sleep.
After locking the door of the detective agency from the outside, he stayed inside alone for more than three days, and he really did find something strange.
Bao Liang found that Wu Entai seemed to be particularly dissatisfied with "Second Dream" played by Jiang Qinqin. This kind of dissatisfaction was almost to the point of complaining anytime and anywhere.
For example, he was clearly criticizing the names of the people in the show or the special effects of the props in the post with other netizens.
The first sentence was to ridicule, "Today the peerless sword is made of plastic, tomorrow it will be made of wood. Even the size is different. The prop team is simply a group of idiots." The second sentence would bring out "Second Dream" and scold it a little.
Or maybe Wu Entai sat there and watched a few episodes of "Wind and Cloud". There were clearly not many scenes of "Second Dream", but when he turned around and started a post, he still criticized Jiang Qinqin's acting for being too bad.
After Bao Liang noticed this, he suddenly had a feeling that although Wu Entai seemed to be sitting there watching TV, in fact, his mind seemed to be organizing the words to criticize Jiang Qinqin or "Second Dream".
Organizing the words! Bao Liang instantly grasped this flash of inspiration.
He looked at the dehydrated version of Wu Entai's forum comments that he sorted out. He found that in the various arguments and insults, the words and grammar were sometimes very standard, and sometimes very colloquial.
This situation was actually relatively common for foreigners who learned Chinese. After all, Chinese was too complicated.
However, when talking about other things, the words and sentences were very casual. Every time "Second Dream" was mentioned, the wording and grammar became very standard, which was a bit abnormal …
The police basically knew how Wu Entai communicated with the outside world. Because it was confirmed that he used the Internet to communicate with the outside world, the various police auxiliary units that had been on standby temporarily returned to normal.
After Qu Sen's drone design team finally didn't need to take turns on standby, several people relaxed and began to focus on the thesis.
Just when Qu Sen sent the second draft to Professor Wu again for review, Professor Gao began to ask. She began to urge Qu Sen to go to her place for a further psychological examination.
Just as Qu Sen was looking for an excuse to refuse, Miss Zhou's call came in. Her meaning was very simple. "Don't look for excuses. Get out of here and go for a check-up.
